How do I calculate the approximate melting/annealing temperature of a primer containing this sequence (which anneals perfectly to its target): 5' GAT TTA CCG TAC TGG GCA ACG 3' More importantly than the actual Tm, I would like to understand HOW to get to there. Thanks!!!

Answer #1

At high temperature, the DNA segment would be denatured, and it could be annealed to short primers at a lower temperature. A DNA polymerase could be added, along with nucleotide substrates (dATP, dTTP, dCTP, and dGTP), to cause synthesis from the 3' end of each primer, using the annealed DNA as template.
